Pluto: First Encounter chronicles the drama of a quest that will bring the once 9th planet into focus, shattering all we have known or dreamed of this small distant place, giving it new meaning within the realm of our Solar System.
In this hour, we'll revisit Pluto's discovery, its rise as a planetary rock star and its status shift to 'dwarf' planet. We'll meet those who are steadfast in championing the once 9th Planet and those who oppose its spotlight. We'll reveal what the best science in the world knows of the planet and what they're about to learn - surprises in store as this imaginative world comes into focus in real time. There's just one shot - and we've got your inside ticket to the ride.
